Swmrs is an east bay punk rock band from Oakland California. They had just released their sophomore album, Berkeley’s on Fire, and celebrated by playing intimate shows with fans the week the record dropped. On February 17, the band came to my town. I had been looking forward to seeing this band since it was announced that they will be there. I always try my best to attend to all of Swmrs shows in my area because I know I am garnered to have an amazing time. I love seeing this band so much because they encourage fans to participate with them in their shows, whether it's something like sing alongs or the wall of death. They don't just stand around and be to themselves like at most concerts I've been to. Their fans that day, and every show they play, were pretty rowdy and full of great energy. I actually ended up leaving with 20 bruises because of how crazy their show was, and it was well worth it.
